MN676 16-piece Diamond Coated Nut File Complete Shop Set Review

The best tool for Nut Jobs!

If you do your own guitar work you need these. This was evident to me a few months back when I was rebuilding an out of production Ibanez 12 string that had two stripped tuners & a missing nut. I couldn't find a bone or synthetic bone nut commercially available that worked on this oddball. I had to make it. Shaping bone isn't difficult - what took so much time (12.5 hours to be… read more particular) was properly setting the string notches with wire files. The job got done - but I felt more like Papillion trying to break out of jail than an amateur luthier. I saw this set on Sweetwater's new products list & put it on my list to get when they became available. Great product, quality file. Also, the file itself pops out of the handle if you require for tight spots. The 6 string bone blank I did with these took about 45 minutes. Wow, what a different, non frustrating experience. These will always be in my luthier tool box, great product.
